Education & Participation

We believe that everybody has the right to express themselves through movement, dance and art.

Our organisation is committed to offering excellent creative dance educational opportunities whilst on tour and in communities. Our home in Leicester means being able to offer a regular suite of activities available to the community. Our Artistic Director, company of dancers and may more professionals deliver workshops, lectures, demonstrations and more.

We deliver education in many different ways, and we work with a range of partners to make sure the very best experiences and opportunities are available as widely as possible. We take active steps to make sure that our opportunities are accessible to people who may face barriers. See below, some of the ways we make educational opportunities available. And if you would like to get involved, please get in touch.

Aakash Odedra Company – Our Artistic Director and company of dancers are available for workshops, lectures, demonstrations and talks whilst on tour or in your community. From Masterclasses in Kathak to contemporary dance for beginners.
